13 Menu Items Are Leaving The Cheesecake Factory - Is Your Favorite On The List?
Menu changes mean it's out with the old and in with the new. Just this week, the Cheesecake Factory announced that it will say goodbye to 13 menu items, including
Everything Flatbread Pizza
Mushroom Burger
Seared Ahi Tuna Salad
White Chicken Chili
Spicy Cashew Chicken
Bistro Shrimp Pasta
Fried Shrimp Platter
Petite Filet
Factory Combinations
Loaded Mashed Potato Omelette
Taco Dorados and Eggs
SkinnyLicious Lemon Herb Parmesan Chicken
SkinnyLicious Spicy Shrimp Pasta
Although many items are getting the axe, over 20 new items will join the Cheesecake Factory's multi-page menu over the next few months.

One of our writers here at Tasting Table had the opportunity to try the Cheesecake Factory's 2025 menu update, and he certainly had some thoughts about it. The Avocado Eggrolls, Spicy Tuna, and Chicken Shawarma were among our writer's favorites, with the Mortadella Panino and the Asian Cucumber Salad getting notable mentions. The frequent menu changes keep the restaurant current, according to the Cheesecake Factory's CEO David Overton. He told Nation's Restaurant News in 2018 that "there's nothing that America wants to eat that can't go on the Cheesecake Factory menu."
If you're worried about waving farewell to any of those 13 menu items, there's no need to be too upset. There are plenty of similar items able to step in to fill the void left by some of the discontinued items. If you loved the Seared Ahi Tuna Salad, you could try the new Seared Tuna Tataki Salad. The SkinnyLicious Spicy Shrimp Pasta might be swimming back out to sea, but you could always substitute it with the new Skinnylicious Grilled Branzino. The Everything Flatbread Pizza won't be returning, but there are still five other flatbreads to choose from. Sticking with tradition may be fun during holiday gatherings, but the Cheesecake Factory knows that to stay ahead of the competition, sometimes it's alright to change things up. And don't worry, you can still end your meal with one of the Cheesecake Factory's signature cheesecakes.

The Glue Is What Sustains The Legacy: Rethinking A Family Legacy Around Emotional Value
What's the point of a $10, $20, $50, or even $100 million legacy if the family doesn't enjoy or appreciate one another for who they are? I work with families across the country, always with an educational approach. My goal is to provide value in all aspects of their lives. Naturally, that leads me to integrate into families for everything finance-related, and often beyond. Many of my clients are first-generation wealth holders. They may have inherited a business that generates significant income, but their parents or grandparents often had minimal liquid wealth. As a result, they have never been taught how to manage a sudden influx of money or the emotional weight that comes with it. Imagine someone who inherits an aircraft parts business or a large real estate portfolio and later sells it to a strategic buyer or private equity firm. Despite newfound wealth, they often struggle to spend. Why? Because they were raised with values shaped by scarcity, by watching parents stretch every dollar. They know they cannot take it with them, but they also cannot bring themselves to enjoy it. This inability to spend wisely creates a ripple effect. If they cannot conceptualize spending on themselves, how can they confidently pass wealth to their children? How do they decide who deserves it? How do they make it fair when each child has a different path? Here's where the challenge deepens. Many families assess members individually, evaluating them based on their economic value or perceived future potential, without acknowledging the softer, more essential aspects that make a family whole. There is a common estate planning model that ties access to family wealth to academic achievement. It makes sense on paper. Statistically, higher education correlates with stronger earning potential, so wealth distributions are granted accordingly. When helping clients work through these structures, I often think about how I would build a plan for my own family. At first, it seems simple: tie financial access to education and contribution. But then I think of my sister. I think of my wife. Neither would traditionally be viewed as economic value creators, but their impact is immeasurable. My wife remembers the small things, like how much someone loves their spouse or how proud they are of their children. People open up to her quickly because she sees them fully. She supports me, my pace, my ambition, and my goals for our family, with unwavering steadiness. That support is the foundation of my professional output. My sister is fiercely loyal. Protective in a way only an older sister can be. She keeps our family calendar full of birthdays and barbecues and makes sure the traditions stay alive. She is the type who would have buried the kid who bullied me in fifth grade in her backyard, figuratively of course (I think). She is not building economic value, but she is the glue that keeps our family connected. I feel like every family has someone like this in the ranks. So, how do you account for people like that in a legacy plan? In my experience, most families do not. They overlook the glue, and sometimes even diminish them, because they do not directly generate returns. But here is the truth: without them, there is no legacy. This brings us to a better framework. You cannot build an enduring estate plan by tying access solely to individual performance or personal milestones. Instead, structure it so that the family, as a collective, needs to achieve a shared level of economic growth or purpose. Treat the family like a business. Create roles. Create purpose. Measure collective outcomes rather than individual ones. Think of it like this: • One family member might act as the CEO, full of ambition and ideas for new investments. • Another might serve as CFO, managing risk and asking hard questions. • The glue, someone like my wife or sister, becomes the Chief People Officer. They ensure alignment, trust, and continuity. As a unit, the family sets a return goal, perhaps 7 or 8 percent across the portfolio, and holds one another accountable. If the CEO wants to go big on a high-risk venture, the CFO pressure-tests the numbers, and the glue asks the critical questions: Does this serve our long-term legacy? Does it align with who we are? Maybe the family moves forward, but at a scale that balances ambition with preservation. This kind of governance structure gives everyone a seat at the table and gives the glue a real, respected voice. Now, imagine a family full of glue types. No flashy business builders, just emotionally intelligent people who can sniff out bad advisors, build real teams, and create an environment of trust. In many ways, this might be the most resilient family structure of all. At the end of the day, compounding a legacy does not just happen in markets. It happens at dinner tables. It happens in how you see and value each other, fully. As I tell my sister: You make sure everyone comes to the table. I will make sure there is always food on it.

Rachel Reeves Has Been Given More Bad Economic News. Is The UK Heading For Recssion?
Rachel Reeves has been dealt another blow after the UK economy unexpectedly shrank in May. Economists had expected gross domestic product (GDP) to bounce bank after it contracted in April. However, the Office for National Statistics has revealed that GDP actually shrunk again, by 0.1%, in May. Reeves said: 'Getting more money in people's pockets is my number one mission. While today's figures are disappointing, I am determined to kickstart economic growth and deliver on that promise.' But despite the chancellor's warm words, David Morrison, senior market analyst at financial services provider Trade Nation, warned that even worse could be yet to come. He said: 'Yet again, this is another poor piece of UK economic data which can only add to chancellor Rachel Reeves's woes. 'But it will be next month's quarterly growth lookback, which will be watched closely as investors consider the likelihood of the UK falling back into recession this year.' The official definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. Although the UK economy is still some way off hitting that grim benchmark, the warning lights are already flashing. Shadow chancellor Mel Stride also warned that the latest GDP figures increase the chances of Reeves having to put taxes up again in her Budget in the autumn. He said: 'Labour's costly u-turns, on winter fuel and welfare, have created a ticking tax timebomb. 'Under Labour, we have seen taxes hiked, inflation almost double, unemployment rise, and growth stagnate. With more taxes looming, things will only get worse and working people will pay the price.' Lib Dem Treasury spokesperson Daisy Cooper blamed the chancellor's decision to hike National Insurance contributions for employers for the UK's sluggish economic performance. She said: 'This economic downturn puts storm clouds over the heads of many hardworking business owners and workers who have been rocked by the mistakes of this government. 'The chancellor's jobs tax was completely misguided and the government's snail's pace approach to reducing trade barriers with Europe is holding back economic growth. 'The chancellor needs to urgently deliver on the economic growth she promised.' Reeves was smiling again as she sat next to Keir Starmer at prime minister's questions on Wednesday – a far cry from the obvious distress she was in a week before. However, she needs to start delivering on the strong economic growth Labour promised before the election if the mood inside 11 Downing Street is not to take another downward turn of its own. Keir Starmer And Rachel Reeves Could Be Preparing For Their Biggest U-Turn Yet. Here's Why Rachel Reeves Says She Is 'Cracking On With The Job' A Day After Crying In Commons Lindsay Hoyle Had 'Altercation' With Rachel Reeves Before She Cried At PMQs
